xray T1 identification (T1 FK, FK05 T1R ???)

[ztech6]

Hi guys n gals,
i've recently got into 1/10 touring car racing and bought a used xray. i was told it was a T1 but not sure if it's an FK or FK05 or T1r. i'm looking out for some spares and an instruction manual (they still have some at Mirage) but not sure which manual to buy. How can you tell the different models? anyone know?

Well, I'm no expert on touring cars by any means (that's putting it mildly lol), but the T1R (Raycer) has a plastic-composite tub chassis, as opposed to the carbon-fibre chassis' of the normal T1 models. As for differentiating between the T1 and T1 FK kits...I couldn't say off the top of my head.

They're all very good cars though, if a little outdated. How much did you pay, out of interest?

[ztech6]

ok thanks, it's not the T1r then as i have a carbon-fibre chassis.
paid ?80 for it, included everything except the radio receiver or manual of course. raced it for the first time last week end (first for the car and first for me on a tarmac track  ). did very well, 2nd over all but i was against two six year olds ha....... So far spent around ?240 for a the car, bat packs, another charger (hence this thread) and some spares

What charger did you get again?

[ztech6]

it's the pro peak constellation

[josh_smaxx]

Very good choice

[ztech6]

cheers, any idea how to tell between the xray T1's ?

[josh_smaxx]

Me? no idea what so ever, sorry

i've got a couple of T1's 
if you post up a few shots of the car without the body on i should be able to identify it for you
one from above and a couple showing the bulheads etc should do it 

[ztech6]

OK, thanks. should have some pics at my bt photo account

look at the xray folder

had a look for you & can see exactly which model it is 

its a T1 Evo2 Foc

the Foc stands for Freedon of Choice
when this kit was supplied new you got all the parts in the kit to run either "C" hub suspension or pivotball!
basically it had 2 comlete sets of arms hubs & everything!

yours is currently runing pivotball setup at the mo 

i know you can get a full "C" hub conversion kit quite cheaply which includes 3 sets of rear arms in different stiffnesses, 2 setrs of front plus 2 sets of different stiffness C hubs in 3 & 6 degrees caster (i think, taken from memory )

that supplied kit has the long suspension arms that mount inboard of the bulkheads, you could also if you didn't mind buying the parts seperately fit the short suspension arms that were factory fitted to the FK & FK05 etc

i'll find you a link for spares as i've just noticed one of my cars has the wrong hub fitted on 1 side so i need to order some parts anyway 

try TeamXRAY

hey Showtime, thanks very much. 
only just started racing so i'll be a while working out all the settings and what suits my driving (when i manage to stay on the track). now i know what to look for, is it worth getting a user manual? i could work out how to adjust all the settings but it would be quicker with a manual.

i'llsee if i can find you a manual for download anywhere 

for setups & info try XRAY's own forum HERE 

you might need to go back to the beginning to find all the posts related to your car though!
i'm in the same boat as i have an FK04 i'm just getting ready for action

Hi, i've got a spare T1 FK'O5 manual you can have if thats any help.

[ztech6]

thanks for the offer but i'm sorted, downloaded from Team Xray.
local track closed last autumn so i've not raced touring car since. been racing Mardave at Wickham (Hants) 'till the track reopens.
